Such a feature could be easily used to get information which sites are hosted on a server as you just have to write a script that tries out web1, web2, etc. so I think if this feature exists, it should be disabed by default. And such a feature would have to ensure that access to websites which are disabled in ispconfig or are over traffic is not possible.

Using such a alias to test websites will not work with most cms / blog systems like e.g. wordpress, so installing wordpress over such a link would result in a broken install and accessing wordpress that has been installed under the real domain name will fail as well. So in my opinion, such a feature does not offer any real benefits as its mostly usable for plain html sites which dont use cms systems and such sites nearly dont exist anymore. Pleask has such a feature as its much older and years ago when websites were just directories full of html files, such a feature made sense.

So maybe instead of intergrating such a feature in ispconfig, it might be better to write a short tutorial on how to configure mod_userdir on a ispconfig server and inform the user about the risks that i mentioned above as thes risks cant be avoided when mod_userdir is enabled.

Yes, I thought more about a plugin than integrating it into ISPConfig itself.

For the problem with disabled sites I already have the solution, now trying if I'll find out for over-traffic ones.

That's true...hmm.

I think I'll create the plugin, since I personally often use plain HTML (for whatever ) so everyone is free to use or not use, and write a short tutorial as soon as it's ready.

This way, the ones who'd like to have this option, can enable it while others don't have to bother about it.
